The effect of red cell distribution width on mortality in partial hip replacement surgery

Abstract

In a recent issue of Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica, we read with great interest the article by Zehir et al. entitled ‘Red cell distribution width and mortality in patients with hip fracture treated with partial prosthesis’.[1] They evaluated the outcome of patients with hip fracture treated with partial hip replacement, and investigated the relationship between red cell distribution width (RDW) and mortality in patients who underwent partial hip replacement surgery. They concluded that there was a significant correlation between elevated RDW level and mortality. We believe that these findings will act as a guide for further studies, and we thank the authors for their contribution to the literature. However, we think that some points should be discussed.
